Holiday baking is right around the corner, whether you’re whipping up a batch of holiday cookies or cooking for wellness, FSO offers a flexible way to integrate cannabinoid therapy into your lifestyle. Make sure to dose carefully, bake at low temperatures, and most importantly—enjoy!
Cooking and baking with Full Spectrum Oil (FSO) can be a fun, delicious way to add wellness to your daily life. Whether you’re making treats like cookies or infusing savory dishes, incorporating FSO is simple once you understand a few key concepts about dosing, infusion techniques, and maintaining its potency. We’ll walk you through the steps, share some recipe ideas, and provide a dosing guide so you can confidently bake wellness into your meals.
Why Use FSO in Baking?
Full Spectrum Oil, unlike isolates, contains a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in the cannabis plant. This means it offers a broader range of therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief, reduced inflammation, and anxiety reduction. For medical patients or wellness seekers, this “entourage effect” maximizes the overall wellness potential, and baking with it allows for a discreet, enjoyable way to consume FSO.
How to Infuse FSO into Your Recipes
FSO can easily be infused into your favorite baking fats like butter, oil, or ghee. The key is to avoid high temperatures, as cannabinoids begin to degrade at around 200°F (93°C). Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Choose Your Base Fat FSO binds well to fats, so pick your fat of choice—whether that’s coconut oil, olive oil, butter, or any other. Melt your fat gently, if needed, and mix in your desired dose of FSO.
Mixing and InfusingEnsure the FSO is well combined by stirring thoroughly. It’s important to maintain even distribution, so each bite or serving contains a consistent dose.
Temperature ControlAlways keep the oven temperature below 200°F (93°C) when baking to preserve the potency of the cannabinoids. If your recipe requires higher heat, consider adding the FSO after cooking (e.g., drizzling it over food or blending it into sauces)
Dosing 101: Calculating Potency in Your Edibles
Getting the dose right is essential when baking with FSO. Too little and you may not feel the effects; too much can lead to an overwhelming experience.
Here’s a basic formula to help you:
Know the Total Milligrams of FSO in Your BatchFirst, figure out how much FSO you’re using. Let’s say you have 100mg of FSO in a bottle, and you want to bake 20 cookies.
Divide by ServingsDivide the total milligrams by the number of servings. For example:100mg FSO÷20 cookies= 5mg per cookie
Adjust to Your NeedsDepending on your experience and desired effect, you can adjust the dosage. If you need a higher or lower dose, simply change the amount of FSO in the recipe.
Benefits of FSO
Cannabinoids found in FSO, such as THC and CBD, interact with the endocannabinoid system, providing therapeutic benefits for conditions like:
